More Real Folk Blues
Aleck Miller, better known as Sonny Boy Williamson, played harmonica and sang the Blues with the best of 'em. He wasn't the first Blues man to use that name... the other was John Lee Curtis Williamson... but he's the one that most modern Blues fans are familiar with. To distinguish the two musicians, the one who is featured here is often referred to as Sonny Boy Williamson II, although he would claim that he was the first one to use the name.
'More Real Folk Blues' was part of Chess Records 'Real Folk Blues' series that was compiled to introduce musicians to the Folk crowd of the early 60's who were just discovering the Blues at the time. It was released posthumously in 1966.
